Matt Crohan (RHS '13) after phenomenal sophomore season on the mound for Winthrop University Eagles, is invited to Team USA training camp — one of 16 pitchers invited to try out for the 12-pitcher roster on the national team.

Since the Waves will be in the playoffs for the first time since 2008, the team is focused on seeding. Riverhead (10-7) improved its chances by shutting out North Babylon today 6-0 on a two hit, six strikeout effort by Kenny Simco.

Despite the loss, McGann-Mercy played its best game of the season, coach Vinny Punzone said. Starting catcher and relief pitcher Matt Raynor got the nod to start and held the Tuckers hitless through three innings.
